Every Jordan Montgomery start is an opportunity for St. Louis to increase their return for the lefty when they inevitably trade him in a few weeks. His season ERA has been steadily falling towards 3.00 over the last few starts, and there were — without a doubt — several ballclubs keeping on eye on his start Tuesday night in St. Louis.
Here are the lineups for the Marlins and the Cardinals tonight:
Marlins:
- Luis Arraez, 2B
- Jorge Soler, RF
- Garrett Cooper, DH
- Bryan De La Cruz, LF
- Yuli Gurriel, 1B
- Jean Segura, 3B
- Dane Myers, CF
- Jon Berti, SS
- Jacob Stallings, C
Edward Cabrera - SP
Cardinals:
- Brendan Donovan, DH
- Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
- Lars Nootbaar, CF
- Nolan Arenado, 3B
- Willson Contreras, C
- Alec Burleson, LF
- Jordan Walker, RF
- Nolan Gorman, 2B
- Paul DeJong, SS
Jordan Montgomery - SP
Kind of like Monday night, the Marlins took the lead multiple times in this game, but each time the Cardinals were able to scrape up a run to tie it.
